Can someone confirm that this rack will work with non-disc brakes as well? (I read that it does on the webpage for the non-disc model.)

To answer your question, I specifically purchased this model as it was for the disc breaks only, as the non disc break model will not fit on my bike, as I have disc breaks. The bracket for the disc brakes is made to reach further in , in order to make room and not to interfere with the disc breaks. If your bike does not have the disc breaks, you may be better off by purchasing the regular model for non disc break bikes.

I have disc brakes but I believe it should work for both. All the rack does is it is extra wide for the disc breaks but has a boss that comes in at the mounting point which should work for either.

NO. Not without a custom part that you would have make yourself. I went down this road myself and there was no way to make it work short of fabricating a metal bracket. most bikes will have a place to mount normal break calipers. I dismantled my disc break and added a regular caliper break and it works just fine. (That's about the best you can do) I hope this helps! Great wheel, I highly recommend this electric wheel.

If you look at your bike there may be two small eyelets that are threaded to accept things such as this rack. They are on most bikes but not all so you should be certain that they are there on your bike. Should be right around the brakes unless you have disc brakes. You simply bend those arms that are sticking out straight to fit to your eyelets and install with the screw that is supplied with your rack.

I believe so. Look for plastic adjustors. I was able to use it on my non disk brake bicycle.

Hi Kate. No, this rim won't work with disc brakes. You need a rim with a special hub for disc brakes.

You'll want to get the IB RA5 model for a bike with disk brakes. I highly recommend this rack-it is good and sturdy.

Because the stand holds the bike up by attaching to the frame, not the hub, it should work fine with disc brakes. I have used the stand quite a bit and it is very helpful when doing minor repairs.

It will depend on the size of your wheel and the radius of the disc. I have a mountain bike with 26" wheels and the rotor on the disc break is *just* low enough for the side of the stand to squeeze between the rotor and the wheel. To prevent damage to the rotor I just shoved a piece of wood under the wheel to prop it up an inch. This solved the problem, and the bike still fits snugly in the rack. I realize you probably already made your decision whether or not to by the rack, but I hope this is helpful for anyone else with disc brakes considering this stand.

I would think that this rack should work with center pull brakes. If you mount the seat brackets out that should allow you the room you need for center pulls. Mounted on the inside may not clear the center pull cable when in the rest/non-use mode. I myself wouldn't be scared to try it. I'm very impressed with this rack we have three (3) of them mounted on our bikes (triplet, single suspension Mt. Bike and a 24" single suspension Mt. Bike). I hope this helps. Tandem4two

Sorry, I don't have disc brakes on my bike. I was under the impression that there were different models for bikes with disc brakes, but you would have to look at the Ibera website to doublecheck.

I have no idea. I'd check the specs on the hubs and frame to see whether it's fit for disc brakes.

No, they are not setup for Disc brakes. Sorry, I haven't got a road disc setup on any bikes, so have no experience with it, so, no suggestions. Good Luck.

hey richard! its so strange you asked this question because when i bought it, i realized it was for drum brakes and i have disk brakes.....i had been having so much problems with my scooter anyways. i was sooo sick to my stomach..anyway i talked to a friend on scootdawg.com and he told me i could just take off the drum brake parts and my disk break wheel will work just fine...yep, it worked..but, i had to saw off the silver metal piece that that stuck out that holds the drum brake..took 2 minutes and was real easy...i hope this helps...it will work if you have disk brakes..trust me.

It depends on your tire size. With 29" rims and 1.75" (45mm) tires, I found the rack to be slightly too minimal in clearance for effective riding. It does clear disc brakes, provided that your tires aren't overly large.

I ride a Trek- Rock Shox, disc brakes front and rear. ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEMS! This rack rules.

It does work with disc brakes. I mounted it on a 29er with mechanical discs. No worries?
